Flash Fiction Friday January 27 2012 "Poser"

Pictures say a thousand words, but we only get one hundred to tell you a story.



“Tell me about yourself. Sometimes it helps.”
“Uh, well, umm… My name’s Michael, but I’m changing it.”
“Why?”
“Well, ‘cause it’s boring?”


“And you think if you change it, you’ll be more exciting?”

“Yea…, I mean no.”
“Then why the change? A rose by any other name and all that…”


“What?”
“It’s Shakespeare. It means that names don’t count for much. It’s the man who bears it that matters. I understand. You want to be noticed.”

“Exactly!”
“Then tell me something real and I’ll make it happen.”

“I’m naked, scared and lonely.”
“Now show me. Yes! Hold it! ”

  7. Oo, I loved the dialogue exchange. You didn't need any word to show us the scene because their conversation did it all. This was an excellent post.

  14. The photographer did well drawing the emotion out of him, as did the writer. :) Seems like he's about to get the notice he's looking for and no one even needs to know his real or new name.
